The answer

The basic rule concerning a woman traveling without a is that it is impermissible, except in cases of necessity or dire need, in which case it becomes permissible for her. Some scholars have permitted her travel without a mahram, provided she is accompanied by a trustworthy group, for any permissible journey. Nevertheless, one must be cautious about being lenient regarding a woman traveling without a mahram, especially in a time where tribulations have become widespread. Therefore, she should not travel merely for amusement or to visit countries.
